we're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years,
we just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time.
Taemin had always liked Jinki hyung a bit more than he should have, but hey, it's not his fault his dork of a hyung tripped him. He brushes his teeth absentmindedly, thinking about his hyung's cute bunny teeth and smiles to himself.
Jinki walks by the door, stretching. He clutches the door frame and pokes his head in, catching Taemin's attention.
"Time for bed, Taeminnie," he says happily, eyes disappearing into pretty crescent moons that hang in the sky of Taemin's heart.
-
Taemin walks into the room and heads towards his bed, eyes scanning the room for his hyung.
"BOO!"
"SDFSDKFSDL," Taemin screams, clutching at his chest. And the next thing he knows, he's being picked up off the floor and thrown onto the bed. He lands with a soft thump on the bed, bursting into giggles, Jinki looking down on him like he just won an Olympic medal.
"Yah, go to sleep now, okay," Jinki says, all smiles and sunshine, as he lightly tapped Taemin's nose with his finger.
-
"Onew hyung likes to throw me on the bed! It’s no joke!"
"He never said to stop though!"
The whole room bursts into laughter.
-
School let out early that day and Taemin's mood brightens because Jinki (and Jonghyun, but he's kind of irrelevant right now to Taemin) hyung had no schedule today. He punches in the lock code and walks in to their dorm.
"I'm -"
The words die at the tip of Taemin's tongue when he hears squealing and his hyungs' voices from their bedroom. Taemin smiles deviously and takes off his shoes. He is going to scare his hyungs. He leaves his backpack and jacket on the floor and starts creeping towards the bedroom. He peeks into the room and sees Jinki throwing Jonghyun onto the bed.
Frankly, Taemin's shocked and a little bit hurt, because he thought that was their thing, not just something Jinki did with anyone.
His thoughts get interrupted by another round of squealing and "Oh my gosh, hyung, stop it!" He watches (with horror) as Jinki loses his balance and lands on top of Jonghyun, and they start laughing, Jinki's head burying itself into the crook of the lead singer's neck.
Hyung never threw me on the bed two times in a row. And he certainly never nuzzled into my neck like that.
Taemin leaves before he sees anymore, all previous thoughts of scaring his hyungs and bright mood gone.
-
At the dinner table that same evening, Taemin picks at his food, staring at Onew and Jonghyun from time to time. Stabbing at his vegetables rather hard when Onew makes a joke and Jonghyun throws his head back and laughs like it's the funniest thing he's ever heard. Actually, even Minho and Key are laughing, but Taemin isn't looking at them.
"Taemin, are you alright?" Key asks when the laughter dies down, "You don't look so well." Key puts the back on his hand against Taemin's forehead, worry showing on his face.
Taemin manages a little smile and shakes his head, "I'm just a bit tired." He didn't want to worry his Key hyung.
A few minutes past and Taemin pushes his plate away, getting up, "I'm going to sleep first."
All the other members nod their heads and give him their goodnights. Taemin heads into the washroom to get ready for bed, Jonghyun's laughter ringing in his head.
-
"Hey, do you want me to tuck you in?"
Taemin is a little surprised when he sees his favourite hyung sitting on the edge of his bed, waiting for him with his hands in his lap. Taemin gives a little smile and wants to refuse but it was his Jinki hyung; it was too difficult to say no, so he nods.
It was the first night in a long time that Jinki had tucked him in like that.
-
For the next week, Taemin avoided Onew like a plague, finding it hard to even breathe in the same space as him. Onew was hurt nonetheless, question himself constantly about what he had done so wrong to have Taeminnie run from him every time he tried to get closer. Every time he went into the room, Taemin was already curled under his blanket asleep, not even giving Onew a chance to say goodnight.
It's been 6 days already.
-
"Jonghyun-ah, I don't know what to do," Onew spills his heart to his dongsaeng, head resting on his leg. Jonghyun plays with Onew's hair, strands falling through the gaps between his fingers.
"You guys need to talk," he tells his hyung.
"But he won't even look at me!" Onew looks up at Jonghyun, desperation evident in his brown orbs. Jonghyun chuckles and Onew looks at him, pouting.
"He can't see anything but you, silly."
-
"Taemin."
"Oh hey, hyung," he replies, walking faster but Onew's arm blocks him from going any further.
"Hey, I have somewhere to go."
"Don't lie."
Taemin looks at him and Onew panics because the maknae's eyes are watery. Taemin brings up his arms and clutches at Onew's shirt.
"Let me go!"
"No," Onew says as he brings Taemin into his embrace, "Not until you tell me why you're avoiding me."
Taemin sighs and gives up, telling him about seeing him and Jonghyun together like that and how he thought it was an us thing, not an everyone thing and how it made him sad, his cheeks heating up the entire time. When he finishes, Onew is silent and Taemin turns around slowly, ready for rejection but all he can see is Onew's knowing smile on his face.
"Taeminnie, are you," Onew starts, smile growing bigger, "Jealous?"
Taemin's eyes widen comically, face feeling like it's on fire, and he shakes his head vigorously. All Onew can do is laugh and put his finger on Taemin's chin, making him look at him.
"If you really want to know, I'll tell you what I was doing with Jonghyun," Onew continues when he feels the other's nod, "I was practicing my throwing-people-on-the-bed technique so it'll be more, you know, more comfortable for you...(?)"
"You're kidding me," Taemin's mouth opens and gapes like a fish.
"No, I'm not, here, I'll show you," Onew exclaims, hand tugging at Taemin's, heading towards their bedroom.
-
Taemin had to admit, it did feel more comfortable, but maybe it was because everything was back to normal (but really, it was all because of Jinki hyung and only Jinki hyung).
